"He was doing pretty good, but you run into that part of the lineup, if you’re not perfect, that can happen," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Quintana. "With Cabrera, then you go to Victor, so unless you’re on it and you’re throwing it right where you want, that can happen, it can sneak up on you."

Quintana struck out Nick Castellanos to close his final inning.

Alejandro De Aza tripled with one out in the seventh but was stranded when Verlander struck out Semien and Eaton.

Verlander walked three and struck out four.

"I was a little out of rhythm after six days off," he said. "After the third inning I kind of established a rhythm and got back to the way I should and have some quick innings."

Tigers catcher Nick Avila was a late scratch with lower back spasms. He was replaced about 2 hours prior to the game by Holaday.

NOTES: Ausmus said RHP Anibal Sanchez’s finger "looked good" and he is scheduled to do informal throwing Wednesday. Sanchez was placed on the disabled list April 27 with a laceration on his right middle finger, and that "rawness kind of seems to have gone away," Ausmus said. "It’s just a matter now of building up the skin on the end of that finger where it can take the friction of a baseball coming off of it again." … The Tigers entered Tuesday after two days off having played just 21 games – the fewest in baseball. … White Sox left-hander Chris Sale, sidelined with a left flexor strain, remains unlikely to pitch into this weekend.
